Paul Detlefsen The Smithy Print
52 x 28 inches. Print on board. This large-scale offset lithograph on textured board is titled The Smithy and was created by the American artist Paul Detlefsen. The artwork portrays a sentimental and detailed Americana scene centered around a brick blacksmith shop situated beneath a large, spreading chestnut tree. The composition includes a blacksmith working at an anvil inside the open bay, an elderly man in an apron showing a child a small wheel near a harnessed white horse, and a horse-drawn carriage positioned under the tree in the background. A stone bridge and a water pump further emphasize the rural setting. The lower right corner of the print bears a printed copyright symbol followed by the name Paul Detlefsen. The reverse of the work features a rectangular white adhesive paper label with blue text and a central crest device showing a palette and brushes. The label reads CREST ART PRODUCTS / MANUFACTURERS OF FINE WALL DECOR / CHICAGO, IND. 60608. Handwritten on the label in black ink are the designations PHQ9 and 544.

The print is housed in a large, ornate composite frame with a gold-toned finish and deep foliate relief patterns around the perimeter.
